What Derek's patients say...
Derek Wu is a phenomenal Massage therapist! The sports/athletic massage was incredible, focused and the perfect pressure. Derek is extremely talented and attentive, and really helped me reset and release my neck/back tensions. He was able to pin point my problem areas, and release knots where I didn’t even know I even had them. Best Massage/Physio in Toronto!
What Derek's patients say...
Couldn’t be happier with Derek, RMT! I’ve been going to him for regularly in the past 6 months or so, and he is the best RMT I have received treatments from. Derek is knowledgeable and spends the full treatment time effectively to have you relaxed and feel much better afterwards. He listens to your requests and delivers it. I’ve gone to 4-5 RMTs in the past 10 years, and he’s the best RMT! I highly recommend him.
What Derek's patients say...
I’ve had the privilege of receiving massage therapy treatment from Derek at Cornerstone. Derek takes the time to listen about past injuries, problem areas, and preferences, ensuring that my sessions are tailored to my specific needs. He always asks what requires attention during the upcoming session, and always makes sure I’m comfortable throughout. Derek’s massages are not only excellent, he also provides great advice on any possible stretching I can do between sessions for maintenance and improvement. I can’t recommend Derek and Cornerstone enough.

My therapist, Derek Wu is outstanding and has been so for each visit. Just when I think he can’t possibly a better job, he somehow manages to outdo himself! He is also a genuinely great person.
